Growster Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 In in doubt look them up. This is easier for me than for most, because Codringtons and us both are in Tottenham. The message I got was quite clear and not given under duress: The realignment of Federal's UK distribution channels has led to the wrong word getting out. I received replies to my emails this morning, and, as per schedule, Kenny is planning to give a presentation to the MLA in London in April.

Mick Friend Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's not for the want of trying as for 'looking them up' I am stuffed if I am driving 150 miles to knock on their door - I have been e-mailing for a week I have a deadline for the show and I need information.

grahamparker Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 The phones aren't working, there is something going on. I placed an order via e-mail on Monday, got no reply i don't know if my goods are coming or not. I am not the only one worrying as to what the HELL is going on.

Mick Friend Posted January 26, 2018 Report Share Posted January 26, 2018 I understand NOW that Codringtons closed tonight at 1700 and On MONDAY Kenny and a few staff will start a new venture offering the same stock and services, lets hope he can salvage it. lock&quay and hibsjo(SCO) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
